Apple's grip on China tablet market loosens
SEOUL, South Korea — Apple's grip on China's tablet market has loosened as Asian tech companies increase sales with cheaper Android tablet computers.
Dickie Chang, senior market analyst at IDC, said Thursday that Apple supplied 28 percent of tablet computers in China during the April-June quarter, down from 49 percent dominance a year earlier.
The iPad maker was still the biggest tablet supplier in China, its key growth engine, but its momentum has slowed.
Chang said South Korea's Samsung Electronics, China's Lenovo, and Taiwan's ASUS and Acer benefited with a surge in their market share.
He said Samsung claimed 11 percent tablet market share, up from 6 percent.
China is a key market for consumer technology companies as growth in sales of smartphones and tablets slows in developed countries.

Heavily damaged in the 1888 fire that destroyed much of San José, the historic neighbourhood of Barrio Amón was rebuilt during the wealthiest and most architecturally creative decades of the coffee boom. Today, the old mansions display an ornate mix of neo-colonial, art deco, federalist, Porfiriano, and other era architectural styles. Many of the buildings are quite well maintained, and several have been remodelled into hotels, restaurants, and cafes. The neighbourhood is quite nice during the day, attracting businesspeople and bohemian types, but gets a bit sketchy after dark – stay alert.
Things to see in San Jose
Tourist offices
Plaza de la Cultura, San Jose, Costa Rica
Tel: 223 1733.
Opening Hours:
Mon-Sat 0900-1700.
San José, an impoverished agrarian village during the height of the Spanish colonial period, lacks the grandiose Catholic churches boasted by other Latin American capitals. It's still worth stopping by the simple but harmonious 1871 Metropolitan Cathedral, overlooking San José's original Central Park. The façade is pretty enough, but step inside – the Moorish tiles, fine stained glass, and ornamentation all seem to echo the rainforest. A sculpture in the gardens commemorates Pope John Paul II's visit.
INBioParque is located just outside San José in the high-tech suburb of Heredia – a 20 minute, US$20 cab ride from downtown (they can arrange transport). The project protects a small swathe of recovering rainforest, dedicated to the study of ecosystem management and alternative technologies. A guided tour on mostly paved pathways takes in extravagant foliage from Costa Rica's many different biomes: tropical rainforest, wetlands, savannah, and more. There's also a model organic farm and a butterfly garden. It's not cheap, but it's a piece of pretty and rural Costa Rica.
San José's largest greenspace, Parque La Sabana, anchors the bustling west end of the city. Originally, however, this shady expanse of football fields, small lakes, gardens, and even a canopy tour, was once the international airport. The gorgeous, mission revival-style Museum of Costa Rican Art was once the airport terminal. The museum reopened in 2010 after a lengthy restoration, and was exhibiting its exceptional collection of paintings and sculptures for free; this might change. Also in the park, the Museo de Ciencias Naturales LaSalle (LaSalle Museum of Natural History) has kid-friendly displays about Costa Rican wildlife and ecosystems ecology.
Arguably the most important collection in Costa Rica, the Jade Museum displays some of more than 8,000 pieces dating back to around 500BC. Unfortunately, the museum doesn't really do justice to the exquisite pieces, thanks to rather unimpressive displays and poor signage. Worse, they recently relocated the museum, once on the 11th floor of the INS building, with fantastic views, to the ground floor. Regardless, it's worth visiting to see Central America's largest collection of jade, most of it originally imported from Guatemala by Costa Rica's original residents. Other artefacts – ceramics, shells, fabrics, and more – are also on display.
The Children's Museum was originally built in 1906 as a military barracks, hence the medieval castle-style façade. After the 1948 civil war, the building was repurposed as a museum. Most tours at least go by the striking edifice, and it's definitely worth a visit for families with young children. Exhibits include all sorts of activities and interactive displays designed to teach kids about history, science, music, and earthquakes.
Beneath the Plaza de la Cultura, in downtown San José, is one of Costa Rica's cultural treasures, the Museum of Pre-Columbian Gold. The museum, an inverted, underground pyramid, sits on the site of the former Central Bank and earlier, one of Costa Rica's first churches. The museum dramatically displays more than 1,600 pieces, the oldest dating to the third century AD. Later pieces follow the development of Costa Rican culture through the Spanish conquest. Tours are offered in English and other languages. The Museos del Banco Central complex also has a Numismatic Museum, displaying coins from throughout Costa Rica's history.
The rounded yellow turrets of century-old Bellavista Fortress, rising just east of downtown, are still riddled with bullet holes. They have been left there to commemorate the 1948 Civil War that rendered the former military barracks obsolete. Revolutionaries abolished the military, and gave the building to the National Museum of Costa Rica. Today, it boasts excellent archaeological exhibits, with ornate matates (stone corn grinders) and the mysterious stone spheres for which Costa Rica is famous. The Spanish Colonial period, coffee boom, and modern Costa Rica are also covered. And, yes, there is a beautiful view over the capital city.
The Museum for Peace, operated by the Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress, was supposed to be a much grander affair, tracing the entire history of peace. Today, it has a small exhibit about two-time Costa Rican president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oscar Arias, and you'll need to knock on the door to see it. It's too bad, because Costa Rica's notably peaceful history, in a region regularly rocked by violence, is worth further study. Here, at least, you'll learn about the 1988 Esquipulas Peace Agreement, which helped end decades of violent conflict in Central America.
At the centre of San José's political district, this shady park and its classy collection of monuments is a popular spot for businesspeople enjoying their lunch al fresco. The park, a gift from the government of Mexico celebrating independence from Spain, is centred on a huge statue depicting Costa Rica's 1856 defeat of filibusterer William Walker. It's close to several other sites and monuments, including the supreme court's inexplicably Egyptian-themed plaza, Parque Morazán and the Temple of Music.

2007 I.T. Budget Check
By Kim S. Nash | Posted 2007-02-07 Email PrintBigger technology budgets, plus savings from cutting infrastructure costs, mean CIOs have more money this year to make their mark.
No one really knows how much they're going to spend on technology this year. Not even you.
Key analysts disagree in their forecasts about information-technology spending in 2007. Goldman Sachs predicts technology budgets will jump 6% to 7% compared to 2006. International Data Corp. goes along with that. But Merrill Lynch puts the increase at 4.2%, based on a survey of 100 chief information officers in late 2006.
Most pessimistic is Gartner, which forecasts that overall technology spending will grow by 2.8%. Yet that figure may seem worse than it is, according to Jed Rubin, an analyst in Gartner's worldwide information benchmark service.
Many of the technology executives Gartner talked to said they have cut keep-the-lights-on infrastructure costs in the past year through efficiency plays, such as consolidating servers, which can save 5% to 10% on maintenance. So, while 2007 budgets may increase by just 2.8%, more of the budget will be freed up this year for new projects, Rubin says.
Some of the savings have to be recycled back into the corporate coffers, of course. Chief executives love to show Wall Street just how efficient they've made things. But some amount will remain in the information-technology budget, giving CIOs more room to maneuver.
Much more interesting than quibbling over percentage points, though, is what technology executives plan to do with their money. Several chief information officers told Baseline that security and streamlining infrastructure to cut technology operating costs are the two biggest priorities.

| Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempickahehehe i Heart Lolita. If I've gone a long time without smelling it and I smell it, I t makes me nostalgic and it makes me feel sexy. If it was a guy, i would eat him up. 10th December, 2007 |
| Jean Paul Gaultier Classique by Jean Paul GaultierTo those protesting the packaging. The can is actually a pretty clever idea. Lemme tell you why. Aluminum is one of the best ways to keep fragrance from getting skunky, losing its original smell. Perfume loses its chemical stability and breaks down even after just one year from air, light, heat and bacteria. So....aluminum, original box, dark linen closet or fridge will all help out. But my review of the fragrance is this. Its a wardrobe classic, its a show-stopper clubbing smell. Its hard to pull off wearing this during the day. I have always always always had some guy that comes up to me telling me that I smell yummy and wanting to get closer. Thank You Classique. Its warm, sensual, dark, mysterious, erotic. A+++ 10th December, 2007 |
| J'Adore by Christian DiorI think this smell is strange. Its not necessarily bad, just odd to me. i learned from wearing this that I don't really care for fruity smells outside of clean citrus. 10th December, 2007 |
| Wish by Chopardi own this and I really feel that the only similarities to Angel would be vanilla and tonka bean which are far less prevalent. It really is not flat at all. I find Angel to be completely overpowering and nauseating. Its like someone drenches themselves with hersheys syrup, Angel is cloying and abrasive. Wish should not be confused with Angel in that context. Its a very classy warm scent. I really feel that Wish and Lolita can stand on there own without the rap of Angel, especially Lolita in the top 5. 10th December, 2007 |
| Truth Calvin Klein by Calvin KleinThis is a casual every day scent. I cant imagine this really offending anyone. Its light and not airy. Its wet woods and black crunchy autumn leaves covered in rain. Its dark and foresty and clean. its the amber and the green notes that make it rich and at the same time not heady. To me its a classic. 10th December, 2007 |

| Dolly Girl by Anna SuiI love the bottle, I was looking for a summertime scent and this fit the bill to a T. I smell a definite ruby red grapefruit....or some citrus notes. Its fresh and gorgeous and very sparkly and happy. Its not sultry at all, maybe flirty in an innocent way. 10th December, 2007 |

"Deauthorize this Computer" works properly to restore my IPOD | IPOD Touch | IPhone 3G or 4G
Here i experienced something new while my updating iPod Touch and iPhone as well. Few days before with iPhone and now with iPod Touch, i was trying to update my device to latest iOS 4.3. But it use to be ended with an error code 1600. I got this error with both of my devices, where 1 thing was common. My PC was "Authorized". I tried to update my iPhone and iPod Touch many times with PC Authorized, and it ended every time with error 1600. Finally, what i did was Deauthorized my Computer and tried to update or restore my iPod Touch. And the result was proper. There was no error and task completed without any problem. I observe this with both my Iphone 4 and iPod Touch. That indicates that ""Deauthorize this Computer" works properly for restoring any of your Apple iOS devices like IPOD , IPOD Touch , IPhone 3G or 4G . Try it. To deauthorize a computer:

Re: Ipod failed to recover, deauthorize and authorize again works proper
Well, i too observe something similar to this. It may be co-incidence that your devices restored properly after deauthorizing the computer. Because, at my time, i too was getting error 1600 even after deauthorizing the computer. What i did was after deauthorizing, i authorize my computer again and tried to restore my iPod back. This time it ended without any error. |

Re: However, Deauthorize audible account did not works here.
I have little confusion here. @Maq.h: You said "Deauthorize My Computer" works properly for restoring Ipod Touch or iPhone. I tried the same. It works for sometimes, not always. But what i wanted to know is have any one of you tried the same after Deauthorizing audible account ?? i tried the same, and found that Deauthorize audible account did not works here. So, people should know that "Deauthorize My Computer" and "Deauthorize audible account" are different and second one will not work for this process. |

Re: How to Deauthorize audible account
Thanks for this greatful info friends. Really a newone for iOS devices users. Anyways, as in the very above post, Deep has talked about Deauthorizing audible account. I need some help regarding the same. I was trying to Deauthorize audible account as am going to buy a new system but was unable to do so. Getting error again and again that User or password is wrong. Any help ? |

Re: "Deauthorize this Computer" works properly to restore my IPOD | IPOD Touch | IPhone 3G or 4G
You have to enter your audible username and password as it differs from yout iTunes User/Password. In case you have many iTunes accounts than you may required to be logged into the one you authorized the audible account in the first place. Try this and let me know the results. |

SMI chief eager for better times at Kentucky, weighs in on NASCAR
Speedway Motorsports Inc. Chairman Bruton Smith, whose company owns the Kentucky track and seven others, made a rare public apology after the race. His company spent the better part of the last year working with the state to make improvements in and around the speedway before NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series returns this weekend. The state spent $3.7 million to expand the highway and interstate near the track, and the track spent $8 million to $10 million constructing 15,000 to 20,000 parking spaces.
Smith spoke with SportsBusiness Journal staff writer Tripp Mickle about those improvements and more last week.
Bruton Smith said ticket sales were tracking well for the race at Kentucky.
Photo by: ICON SMI
SMITH: I wish we could have convinced the highway patrol of Kentucky. I kept trying to explain what a huge crowd we had coming. … The biggest thing that hurt us was the rain. It converted the parking we had into an impossible situation.
■ What do you have to do to reconnect with fans?
SMITH: I made promises on what we would do and we've done it. And I've done it with the state of Kentucky. The governor of Kentucky came forward and got the state to approve a lot of things. We have what was a two-lane road operational at seven lanes. They also installed a 12-foot-wide pedestrian walkway, and the state built a tunnel under [Kentucky highway] 35 so that people can walk right on through the tunnel and onto the speedway side.
■ You don't apologize often. Why did you apologize for this race?
SMITH: We hated that we didn't do a better job. Here again, I'm not going to knock Kentucky, but they were not aware of what was going to happen. This time [the state highway patrolmen] went to school on it. … They know what to expect and they will do an outstanding job.
■ How are ticket sales tracking?
SMITH: Very good. I won't say we'll sell out, although we might with Dale [Earnhardt] Jr. winning a race. It's really making the phones ring.
■ How would you characterize the state of the sport?
SMITH: It's better today than it was two years ago. It's not where we want it. … Ticket sales [are better].
■ What do tracks need to do in order to get more fans in the stands?
SMITH: It's back to what we produce. We're in racing. We're in show business. We've got to put on a great show for the fans. If we do that, fans will be there.
■ What could NASCAR do to help tracks cut expenses?
SMITH: Sanction fees. Staff. There's a lot of areas. You could list all 50 or 60 and see where we can cut. We've allowed the expenses to become a runaway freight train. We need NASCAR's support on that.
■ What about shortening the season?
SMITH: I'm not for that at all. These speedways cost an awful lot of money. We spend millions of dollars on these speedways to make them comfortable for fans and teams and everyone. We need the races.
■ How do you feel the current leadership of the sport is doing?
SMITH: You've still got people there doing a great job. Brian [France, NASCAR chairman and CEO], NASCAR does a good job. [NASCAR President] Mike Helton does a good job. But I think sometimes what they do is [when] they have something they want to do, they jump in and have too many people. I'm saying hypothetical, they need five people but they hire 15. I'm in business. I have 15,000 employees in the two companies we have. We don't just throw people at something. We like to train, train, train. I have a college of knowledge. We school people constantly in what we're doing. That's what is important: well-trained people, knowledgeable people, people who want to succeed at what they're doing.
CFL to celebrate 100th Grey Cup
The NFL has been talking for years about the 50th playing of the Super Bowl, set for 2016 in a venue to be chosen next May.
The 2012 CFL season, which opens this week, will conclude in November with the 100th playing of the Grey Cup championship game.
American audiences are expected to be able to watch the centennial Grey Cup under a new TV deal the CFL was working on last week. The league would not disclose the network other than to say it is not NFL Network, which carried CFL games last year.
In addition, the CFL and its backers will spend more than $10 million this season touting the 100th Grey Cup, making it the largest promotional effort in the league's history.
Commissioner Mark Cohon is rolling out a major marketing effort this season.
Photo by: NEWSCOM
The league this week was set to unveil details of a three-month, nationwide tour to promote the 100th game, bringing the championship trophy to nearly 100 communities. In addition, Canada will issue official Grey Cup coins, and the postal system 50 million stamps, the biggest such effort in that agency's history. TSN is planning an eight-part documentary series focusing on events and players in CFL history, and the annual Grey Cup festival will expand from its traditional three days to 10 in this year's host city for the game, Toronto.
The Grey Cup rotates among the CFL's eight team markets.
Sponsors are promoting around the championship, too. Sponsor Nestlé currently has a promotion in movie theaters affixed to buckets of popcorn.
X Games sells 11 sponsorships, meets goals
Moving the X Games from late July to late June cost ESPN's sales team a month of sales time and resulted in the loss of some traditional sponsors, but the group managed to sell 11 sponsorships and meet sales expectations.
In addition to overall sponsorships, ESPN for the first time is selling specific event deals.
Photo by: C. VAN HANJA / ESPN IMAGES
"We're really pleased with the sales efforts," Johnson said. "We had a little bit of attrition because of business timing, [but] I would deem Winter and Summer X Games a success by all our goals."
For this week's event, ESPN's sales team sold three official partnerships (Ford, Navy and Red Bull), six event partners (Casio-Verizon, Geico, Hot Wheels, Mobil 1, Sony and Supercuts) and two other partners (GoPro and Olympus).
The only official partner from a year ago that opted not to return was BF Goodrich. The tire company developed a commercial around X Games competitor Shaun White last year and promoted it during Summer X, but it is not promoting that campaign this summer.
For the first time, ESPN sold event title sponsorships for the X Games. Sony will be the title sponsor of its Moto Step-Up competition, and GoPro will own BMX Big Air.
X Games partnersHot Wheels is another first-time deal for the property. The sponsorship gives Mattel, which owns the brand, on-site activation rights but does not include any media. Hot Wheels is building a six-story, double vertical loop on-site and will attempt to break a world record for racing two vehicles through the loop at speeds of 52 mph.
Official: Ford, Navy, Red Bull
Event: Casio-Verizon, Geico, Hot Wheels, Mobil 1, Sony, Supercuts
Others: GoPro, Olympus
Source: X Games
All three of those deals highlight what Johnson described as an X Games shift to customized packages.
"It's the way we're selling sponsorships and indicative of what we're going to do with global [X Games]," he said.
Johnson added that this week's event will be the last held under X Games' current sponsorship business model.
ESPN is taking the property global with events in France, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Los Angeles and Aspen, Colo. It is looking for six global sponsors that will have rights to all of those events. It also will sell local sponsorships in non-competing categories.
X Games will host dozens of prospective global X Games sponsors at this week's event.

These next few months are really a critical time for Libya and the other democratic start-ups in the area. The end of Qaddafi is only cause for celebration if the country bounces back better than it was, with a just and fair government. There are no guarantees that the transitional council, or the transitional council ill indeed drop their power just like that. Power corrupts, and there is a fair chance that those who have it now will only pretend to let it go. Democratic elections are one thing, but that label means many things around the world. Libya could end up with Russian style elections, or they could even end up with a "democratically elected" Hosni Mubarak type. It seems the worst is behind them in Libya, but they're not out of the desert yet.
It's amazing how a domino like effect has taken place in the Arab world. Tunisia starting it all, followed by Egypt and Libya. This is a very action pack time right now. Qaddafi's death is of great moral victory and provides hope of a new non-oppressive government. But it won't happen overnight or even in the next year or two. Transition of government is difficult to achieve. Hopefully this event not just encourages Libya, but other nations dealing with mad dictators.
Colonel Muammar Qaddafi thought he had limitless "power". Did he ever consider the depth of power that is vested in the indomitable human spirit in search of human dignity, freedom and self-determination?
If Qadhafi was to be overthrown, it was expedient he should be killed without finicky bourgeois scruples; that is not to say he was quite so bad as he has been painted by the Western media since the rebellion started but not before, let alone that the successor regime will govern any better than he did.
The Economist:
'...his demise spells the end of a vile reign. He tormented his own people...for the overwhelming mass of humanity, at home and abroad, his capture is a cause of undiluted celebration.'
Then one must conclude that in his 42 years of reign, Qadaffi is wanted in The Hague for war crimes, and crimes against humanity. One can assume that the UN bodies, be it the general Assembly of the Human Rights Committee being busy dealing with motions to condemn Libya with its actions...
Many now speak about the nature of this regime, but only after it is gone. In real time, when so many innocents needed the UN to protect Qadaffi's victims, be them domestic or foreign, the UN was nowhere to be seen.
With the protection of the Arab league and the OIC, no one could touch Libya, or Syria, or Yemen. They all could only wait their time on Israel, while letting the real violations of human rights take place.
It's a pity that similar actions can't be taken in North Korea. The world shouldn't have to stand by idly while dictators kill thousands of their own people.
The Arab countries have gone from feudal monarchy to Arab Nationalism which the cronies have wielded power. With the barbaric Imperialists joining hands with the Shababs on the Arab regime changes, the verdict is still out on the future outcome on whither Islamist democracy or Islamist theocracy will flourish in this ancient land.
That is,
Requiescat in cruciatus
Yet again the kill on capture doctrine is presented triumphant. We are cheated of any sort of judicial hearing. The squalid details of those who accepted the colonel's largesse, uncomfortable secret comprises or skeletons of the past remain mists and rumours. This concept of justice is perhaps the worst legacy of the GW Bush US administration.
Well, what did Mubaraks 'demise' do for Egypt? One swallow (read man) does not make a spring; there are so many hurdles to overcome...
Well, what did the demise of mubarak entail? one swallow (read man) a spring does not make. There are so many hurdles to overcome going forward....
Its fantastic to see him go!!! I just hope that Libya and the other surrounding countries will be able to start a democracy and not fall back into the same type of regimes that they once were. Hopefully they can model there system after what South Africa did right in their own country. The next question is who is next?? Syria? Zimbabwe? North Korea? Only time will tell then
Qaddafi's capture will bring hope to citizens and countries under oppression. It is a gain for democracy, and a scare for those unfair leaders. His demise does not mean immediate rises or power in other Arab countries, but it means they are on their way to achieving the equality that citizens want.
The last sentence sums it up nicely, its a turning point. There is still along way to go for the areas mentioned in the article. That is not to take away from the giant step that was just achieved. This is a morale booster for the Libyans. But the type of democratic and political change being talked about won't happen over night. Possibly not even in the mentioned 2 year span. He ruled for 40 some years as a horrible leader. He has done alot of damage and that is going to take time. Although it helps that the people are so willing and excited for a change. The fact that their economy could bounce back with the production of oil is another step in the right direction for them. Only time will tell if this is going to be a "happy ending".
There aren't many people in the world that I am actually glad to see dead but Muammar was definitely one of those people. He has been destroying Lybia for many years and he finally got his punishment. Hopefully his death will be a message to all other dictators. But could someone tell how is name is actually spelled? I have seen it spelled as Qaddafi, Gaddafi, and Kadaffi and I'm not sure which one is correct or if all of them are correct.
Finally, Libya can proceed with their revolution without any influence of Muammar Qaddafi. Although Muammar has been out of power for sometime, his influence was still present. Now that he has been killed, his influence will disappear and Libya will revolutionize their country and learn of a new kind of freedom which they have not experienced for over 40 years. As long as another dictator does not take control of the country they will develop into a country that is not oppressed.
I first hear about this story on the news this morning. I hope the rumors are true and rebels of libya are freed of his reign. I know that capture Muammar Qaddafi doesn't mean that all of his support will stop fighting but it will give the rebels a upper hand.
The death of Qaddafi certainly provides an opportunity for advancement in democracy for Libya and finally a chance to have a more profound leader who cares about the people. The challenge will be to set up the new government, and have the people be willing to listen. It will certainly be better than a dictatorship, but it will take some time.
While turbulence still remains, this event is cataclysmic and a symbol of hope. Certainly much work remains to be done, but Libya can rest easy for at least a moment. As evidenced by the immediate production in the economy, Qaddafi's death has been met with a positive response. Though no one's death should necessarily be celebrated, it is good to know that the oppression has ceased. Look for the state of affairs to gradually improve in the coming weeks.
@davidhutchinson....just another note Chavez is widely popular in Venezula, he was popularly elected becuase the poor love him...The reason you do not know this is either laziness or the fact that the Media in the country was controled by the wealthly elite who suffered from Chavez land and wealth redistribution policys...Not that I am a Chavez lover or everything he has done has been democratic but facts are stubborn things!

WOW has been celebrating the riches of world cinema since 2001, bringing an eclectic, intriguing, and moving selection of films from around the globe to cinemas across Wales. WOW presents a selection of the very best in world cinema – and sometimes a film from Wales too.
With the support of Conversations About Cinema, we have been able to document a number of the panel discussions that have taken place during the 2015 WOW film festival.
Fadhili Maghiya (Watch Africa Film Festival), Dr Rachel Langford (Cardiff University) and Sandra Skinner (Hay Timbuktu) discuss issues raised by Abderrahmane Sissako's film Timbuktu and the nuances and complexity of the socio-political situation in Mali.
WOW Festival Director David Gillam is joined by guests Dr Saeed Zeydabadi-Nejad (School of Oriental and African Studies, Dr Maryam Ghorbankarimi (St Andrews University) and Ehsan Khoshbakht (Iranian Film Critic, Curator ad Architect) who discuss the Iranian classics Hamoun by Dariush Mehrjui and Under the Skin of the City by Rakhshan Bani-Etemad.
We're delighted that Dukhtar/Daughter Director Afia Nathaniel and Co-producer Cordelia Stephens, will be joining WOW for Q&As following all three screenings of their award winning film at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff this month. They have some amazing stories to tell about their experiences, both in the lead up to and during the making of Dukhtar/Daughter, which was filmed in the Himalayan mountains in the north of Pakistan. For example, how they overcame the obstacles of getting a film made in a desolate region disputed between Pakistan and India, where no other film crew had been given permission to film.
We're really fortunate to have quite a few director Q&As in the festival this year. If, like us, you enjoy getting the chance to ask questions about the film you have just seen and are fascinated by what inspires filmmakers and what it takes to get the job done, then come along and join in with what promise to be some fascinating discussions.

Wintry HostilityPosted Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at 2:05 PM
I went to the window and looked out with dread.
This was one day I should go back to bed! My car was missing; it was no where in sight. It was replaced by a mountain of chrystal white. I bundled up tightly and went out in the cold. The wintery effect was quite a sight to behold. The ground was icy, my footing unsure; The layers on my car completly secure. I chipped and I scraped for an hour, maybe two, Sure that my lips must be turning blue. With aching fingers, I went where it was warm Trying to escape this wintry storm. My retreat short-lived, I headed back out. I drove to work on an ice-covered route. The weather, now drier, still freezes my toes. Thats why I'm now wearing 10 layers of clothes. |

The perfect Bible verse for New Year's. Besides pink being one of my favorite colors, the green and pink in this image, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17," are very appropriate for the meaning of this verse. I love that I am a new creation, I am not limited by my past. |

On May 19, the DOJ announced that a Swiss bank pleaded guilty and entered into agreements with federal and state regulators to resolve a multi-year investigation into the bank's alleged conspiracy to assist U.S. taxpayers in filing false income tax returns and other documents with the IRS by helping those individuals conceal undeclared foreign bank accounts. Under the plea agreement, the bank agreed to (i) disclose its cross-border activities; (ii) cooperate in treaty requests for account information; (iii) provide detailed information as to other banks that transferred funds into secret accounts or that accepted funds when secret accounts were closed; (iv) close accounts of account holders who fail to come into compliance with U.S. reporting obligations; and (v) enhance compliance, recordkeeping, and reporting programs. The plea agreement also reflects a prior related settlement with the SEC in which the bank paid $196 million in disgorgement, interest, and penalties. Under the current agreements, the bank will pay $2.6 billion in fines and penalties, including $1.8 billion to the DOJ, $100 million to the Federal Reserve Board, and $715 million to the New York DFS. Federal authorities did not individually charge any officers, directors, or senior managers, and the agreements do not require the bank to dismiss any officers or employees, but eight bank executives have been indicted since 2011 and two of those individuals pleaded guilty. Further, federal and state regulators did not directly restrict the bank's ability to operate in the U.S.—the New York Federal Reserve Bank allowed the bank to remain a primary dealer and the New York DFS did not revoke the bank's state banking license.

Question about starting Zaneblue's diet, and using brainsync
February 2008
Posts: 221
Okay, i am already having wonderful pleasure beyond anything i have known, but i still feel that i can go that one step further. I have recently ordered the fish oil
but im not sure how much to take/start with.
I am currently 14.7 stone and i am losing weight. Does taking the fish oil cause you to put on weight?
How many capsules do i take and how many times a day?I know there is a topic about this, but this diet seems to vary enough from the individual to warrant another topic
I have found that using brainsync's "Ectasy", my pleasure have gone through the roof (and i havent even started Zaneblue's diet yet, i so cant wait). I was already having good sessions, but now i use brainsync almost everytime, and it just gets better and better.
When i use brainsync, i imagine that the whole music is going through my body. its differnt vibrations and frequencies. I can feel the Progasm ******* me, big time a lot more offten now. When the second track is nearing the 3/4 mark, the lady singing (or whatever) starts. This usualy sends me over the edge in such a wonderful way.
So to those who are not getting results from Brainsync. Just try to let the music become a part of you. It really relaxes you in a pleasureable way.
Any help is appreciated, and i hope i have helped.

The Orgasmic Diet
Here's my blurb on it, you can calculate the dose for your particular weight.
The fish oil goes by weight. For a 150-pound man I recommend 1600 mg of EPA and 1300 mg of DHA per day. 250 pounds double the amounts of both, adjust amounts in between for weight. Always take a good multivitamin when taking fish oil. Take with food, start off with one capsule a day, slowly increase a capsule a week until the full dose. Check with your doctor for drug interactions. Use ultra-refined fish oil, EPA+DHA >500 mg in one one-gram capsule. Do not take fish oil like this if you have a defibrillator, are on blood-thinning medication like Coumadin, take lots of OTC pain relievers, are allergic to seafood, are scheduled for surgery.
Along with the fish oil and multi I recommend men take the RDA of calcium/magnesium/zinc (which usually results in extra zinc because there's zinc in a good multi). Extra Vitamin C, I usually drink a glass of orange juice a day.
The food part is do not eat any transfats, avoid all polyunsaturated vegetable oils like soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil etc. Canola oil is fine, so are monounsaturated fats like olive oil. Saturated fats like butter and cheese and fat from meat are good. Low on starches and sugars, carbs should mostly be fruits and vegetables. Meat and fish--protein at every meal. The goal is the 40-30-30 balance of carbs, protein, fats on many low-carb diets.
No tofu allowed on the diet, or soymilk or anything soy. Soy kills the effect of the diet. No caffeine, not even green tea. It just makes the ability go away temporarily so no big deal. And of course no smoking.
The food part of the diet isn't as important as the rest. And that's about it, and after writing a book on it I am heartily sick of typing it out!

I have a soy product at least twice a week, this is worrying now as i really dont want to go back to frequent meat consumption (i will baloon up big time). I was borderline 16stone before new year.
Caffie, i can cut down on. alchohol, i only drink once a week. I drink chamomile tea on occasions as i get anxious from time to time (ive read fish oil can cure this somewhat.

Soy hurts your available testosterone. Your choice. Lean meat isn't all that much more caloric, ounce for ounce than tofu.

Heehee, i think ive noticed a slight differnce with one capsule, two times a day. Next week i think il try two capsules two times a day. This is great! Just now i was watching a porn video and i thought i was going to ejaculate hands free. (totaly out of the blue).
Edit: If you have an essential oil vapouriser, i absolutely recommend Ylang Ylang essential oil as a relaxant that also happens to make you aroused.

OMFG!!i just got that "tantric sexuality" thingy and all i can say is BEST SESSION EVER!!I listened concentrated on the beats in the music, and slowly i was realaxing into what i can describe was an altered state of conscoiusness. What start off as slowly relaxing into a super-o, i then found my essense twisting in varios ways. Whats more, was the more i relaxed into the music the better and more warped it felt. I feel i can do it all over again now.
TO anyone who dosent have this CD, get it now!!Pleasure beyond pleasure.

Hey Guys,
For those of you who are on or considering
orgasmic diet and are aware of her objection to soy products, her argument got some more validation from this article I just read,
Soy Linked to Low Sperm Count

So eat healthy and keep up the production of those little swimmers.

Hello Zane,
I've been thinking about you recently because I discovered the ultimate dark chocolate - the "Excellence" line by Lindt. The "Intense Dark" is 70% cocoa and a little sweet, and the "Extra Dark" is 85% cocoa and only slightly sweet, just enough not to be too bitter. The Dark Chili is also wonderful! This is very serious chocolate for orgasmic dieters.
Also I'm taking three Omega-Rx every day, and now I'm converted to the Peristal there seems to be no limit to my increase in orgasmic intensity and duration
God bless you Zane for your wonderful orgasmic advice,

Yep, I believe in the diet too. I was basically already taking a lot of it before I heard or her book - plus I try to often eat like 'The Zone' which is very similar to her diet as well - and I already had quite a bit of orgasmic ability. But I truly believe I have noticed a definite increase in orgasms and their intensity since taking the fish oil, dark chocolate, etc. I also like to take Ginko Biloba. I believe she is against that for the women, but it seems I've noticed a difference and improvement when I take it. Ginko increases blood flow to the brain and improves respiratory response - both important things in orgasm. It works for me.
BTW Marrena I have bought your hard back book and am about 1/2 way through. When I am done I will give it to my wife. :lol:
Rock on sweet Zane! Here's to many happy orgasms!!

Hi All,
I'm also a true believer in Marrena's diet. Every guy really should buy her book... it is not expensive, and it has a great deal of knowledge for guys to understand, and use.
There has been a great deal of information about the use of soy products and men, and I'am glad I don't use any. Soy is not a way to diet for men.
Each person really should eat a well balanced diet, with very little carbs, Marrena's info is right on!
I personally use The Zone Labs fish oil, Omega-RX, it is not the cheapest out there but I believe one of the best for purity, and it works great for me and my sexual activity.

Wow that's a ton of fish oil. The fish oil I use is Nature Made with a serving size of 2 capsules twice a day or a total of 4 capsules. It has 432 MG EPA and 288 MG of DHA for 2 capsules. So if I'm reading this thread correctly and my math is right, I need to double the amount of fish oil I'm taking to get to about the amount that zaneblue recommends. So take 8 capsules a day. I actually only take one capsule a day right now so I need to times times that by 8. Which would end up being 1728 mg of EPA and 1152 MG of DHA if I took 8 capsules a day. Wow that's alot!!
